Need: 2 short Cat5/5e/6 Crossover cables (3 feet)

I have two computers in my math lab whose wireless connections are bad, so I'd like to just piggyback them off of their neighbors and use XP's Internet Connection Sharing feature to get them back online.

Don't really know how much they're worth, but hoping not a whole lot- I'm in college, and therefore kinda poor. :blush:

those systems would need 2 nics each and you'd certainly need admin level access to them to be able to setup ICS.

why 2 nics each? I think 2 computers are unable to access wifi and theyre goin to be connected to the ones next to them which are wireless-able.

the ones sharing the internet connections will certainly need two nics. One for incoming traffic and one for sharing outgoing traffic.

Every computer in there has two NICs: one wireless, and one wired. I just want to piggyback the broken ones off the wired connections next to them. Rights aren't a problem, I'm an admin in that lab.

I hated setting up labs with wireless. Nothing like 20 to 30 pcs sharing one or two access points...I'll look around and see if I have any crossover cables laying around.

Much appreciated, thanks.
